Hard to believe it but the Asus EeePC has only been out in America for 2 months today. Why is this hard to believe? Because of the onslaught of also-ran Linux-based UMPCs, including but not limited to the OLPC, Classmate, Cloudbook, and now the Noahbook. What we are seeing here is the start of something, a new category of PCs, the CLUMPC, or Cheap Linux Ultramobile Personal Computer.
What is a CLUMPC? So far its a sub 10” notebook-form PC, with Linux pre-installed (either HD or SSD) that retails for under $400. Why does this qualify as a new category instead of staying lumped in with UMPCs? Two big reasons.

via Pligg Blog by ChuckRoast on 12/31/07Happy 2008 everyone! It's a new year, and what better way to kick it off by releasing the long awaited Pigg Beta 9.9.0
I'll leave the technical stuff to the change log but I'm sure you will agree this is the best version of Pligg yet. Besides a slew of core improvements and a multitude of bug fixes, the first thing you will notice is a slight change to the installation process. We are rolling out a language fetching feature to the installation process. This will allow you to select a language, then the installer will connect to the Pligg servers to download the most up to date language pack.Another new addition is Template Management. This will allow you to download and install templates instantly. You can also repackage templates for distribution much easier.
Some other great features included in this version are the addition of the Akismet anti-spam, and new Captcha module for registrations which allows for different types of Captcha methods to be used. Agree-to-Terms allows you to set up a user agreement upon registration.
We would like to thank

via Squirrel News by Mike Reynolds on 12/14/07Is it just me or does the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics mascot Sumi look like a squirrel? From Vancouver2010.com:
Sumi is an animal spirit who lives in the mountains of British Columbia. Like many Canadians, Sumi's background is drawn from many places. He wears the hat of the orca whale, flies with the wings of the mighty thunderbird and runs on the strong furry legs of the black bear.
So he has a whale hat, can fly and has bear legs, but what is he? Looks like a squirrel to me.

In this era of data smog, the knowledge worker who can act like an agile ninja by consuming vast quantities of information, synthesizing it and getting it in the hands of the right people at the right time is invaluable. For knowledge worker ninjas, RSS is your shuriken.
I have been using various RSS readers for nearly five years now - I've tried them all. However, none matches the power of Google Reader. I have found that if you tap into all of its features, it's the Holy Grail of Personal Knowledge Management.
So as 2007 winds down and thoughts turn to productivity and prosperity in the new year, I offer these tips to help. Share your own thoughts in the comments. (Some of these may work with RSS readers from Newsgator, B
